I'M PREGNANT!!  I am SOOOOO excited! Today I am 5 weeks. I am down to 145 which is 5 pound below my goal. I am however trying to find out about my vitamin levels. My OB nurse does not know anything about the DS and suggests that I contact my surgeon to find out if there is something more I should do about my vitamins. They called in prenatals and I plan to replace my 2 multi's with 2 prenatals per day. However, I am unsure if I need to stop taking anything or increase something. Right now, besides the multi's, I take: 1600 mg Calcium 2 iron (should be 3) 1000 mg vit C 1 ADEK I will call my surgeons office today...but I just wanted to share the great news!! ~Sheryl 300/150/145 EDD: 7/10/07

Oh, congrats Sheryl!!!!  How exciting. You definitely want to hook your surgeon up with your OB and have them partner with getting you the best care possible for this little blessing coming into your life.

TY so much...I had my DS last year when I lived in upstate NY, but I moved to Soutyh Florida in January to take on a teaching job. However, I agree that my 2 docs should get in contact, because my OB has no clue about the DS. ~Sheryl

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  As soon as I saw the "Guess what!!??" I KNEW you were pregnant!  YAY!!!  I am sooooo happy for you!  As you know (probably) I am 6 1/2 months pregnant...The only thing I've had to do is stop taking my A&D since the Calcium I take already has D in it as do my pre nat's...The OB said that too much A leads to retardation...Sooooo...But, other than that...I and Baby Drew are doing just fine!  He's had me up since 3:30am kicking me and playing with my bladder...It's soooo funny,  because when my tummy gurgles real loud, he moves and squirms a lot.  I guess it's a good thing tho since he's going to have to BIG MOUTHED BULL FROG BROTHERS...At least the noise won't bother him as much.  I am sooooo thrilled for you.  CONGRATULATIONS!!!!  So, are we hoping for pink or blue?

Hugs and Happiness,
~Darcy
